“Help Us Grow and Diversify OSMF Membership Worldwide”

Hundreds of thousands of people have contributed map data to #OpenStreetMap, but just under 2,000 of them are members of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, the legal body which supports (but does not control) the OSM project.

Why not change that? Join today!

Did you know? OSMers use a variety of software (“editors”) to edit the OSM data. Several of them have Mastodon/Fediverse accounts!

OSM has improved our anti-spam & anti-vandalism methods. We've added very generous rate limits to map edits for new account. By reducing vandalism, your map gets better. Life is easier for the rest of the volunteers who fix spam & vandalism.

If you're hitting this limit, then just slow down, take it easy, and continue mapping at a sensible speed. 🙂 Don't run before you can walk!

It's been in use for many years, but the Help.OpenStreetMap.org website has had it's time. 🌇 🖬 For a few years, Community.OpenStreetMap.org has been the go-to place for OSMers to ask & answer questions. 🌅

The OSM Ops team (@osm_tech) will turn help.openstreetmap.org/ into read only mode on 1st March 2024.

Do you use the OSM API directly? Make an OSM App? We're dropping support for certain insecure, legacy authentication methods. If you're using them in your app, it risks breaking! _(If this is gibberish to you, you're probably not affected)_

OSM API will remove support for HTTP Basic Auth, & OAuth 1.0a. You'll have to migrate to the modern OAuth 2.0 feature, which is very well supported.

@openstreetmap Thanks for the heads-up!

After reading the notice, I've started planning the update of the Tasking Manager for the Spanish OSM Community

OpenStreetMap data is free, we only ask that you tell people about us in exchange¹.

Some site use OSM without attribution, *and* hotlink to OSMF tile servers. 😭 Our data is free, but our servers cost time & money. 🖥 It's now even easier for you to report naughty sites like that. 📝 They can (eventually) be blocked from freeloading. We hope this will increase visibility of OSM! 👍 🎉

@openstreetmap Shouldn't you be able to prevent loading of assets on unauthorized domains?

@openstreetmap i wish there was a way people could help out, like peer 2 peer / bitorrent style donating of bandwidth

i live in Australia, surely the majority of people around me are looking for aussie places so it makes sense if i could host a small part of osm and ease the server load for australians looking for australian places

OSMF AGM news: Unfortunately, we've found a bug in recording all OSMF membership renewals, so people who are entitled to vote might not have received their ballot yet.

At the OSMF AGM later today, the members will be asked to postpone the GM for a week, until 15:00 UTC Saturday, 16th December 2023, to allow people to vote. More on this as it develops.
